Okay, let's talk about The Duke of Death and His Maid Season 2. I know, I know. Everyone loves it. But hear me out.
Don't get me wrong! It's cute. It's fluffy. It's got that sweet romance we all crave.
The Curse That (Sometimes) Matters
The whole premise hinges on the Duke's curse, right? He can't touch anyone. That's the *drama*! It's supposed to be the driving force.
But sometimes... I forget he's even cursed. Alice is *always* teasing him. They’re practically glued together (spiritually, at least).
Is it just me, or does the curse feel like a minor inconvenience sometimes? More like a suggestion than a life-altering obstacle.
Alice: Maid or Mischief Maker?
Alice is adorable. No arguments there. Her teasing is legendary.
But is she *too* forward? This might be an unpopular opinion, but sometimes I wish she'd tone it down just a smidge.
Poor Duke is just trying to exist! Give the man a break. Maybe a cup of tea and less aggressive flirting.
The Side Characters, Oh My!
The side characters are fantastic! Rob is hilarious. Viola is... well, Viola.
But are they getting *too* much screen time? I’m here for the Duke and Alice's awkward romance, not Rob's latest antics (as funny as they are).
It feels like the main plot sometimes takes a backseat. I came for the curse, people! And the slow-burn romance!
That Pacing, Though...
The pacing feels a little...off, doesn't it? Some episodes fly by. Others feel like they're dragging their feet.
Maybe it's just me getting impatient. I want them to confess already! Get married! Have a cursed little family!
Is that too much to ask? I think not.
The Animation Style
Okay, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. The animation style is... unique. The CGI is quite obvious.
Some people love it! They say it gives the show character. I respect that.
But does it sometimes look a little... janky? Maybe. Just a little. Don't hate me!
The Unpopular Opinion Conclusion
Look, I still enjoy The Duke of Death and His Maid. I genuinely do.
It's a sweet, heartwarming story. It's perfect for a relaxing watch after a long day.
But sometimes, I can't help but feel like it could be just a *little* bit better. Am I alone in this? Probably. But that’s okay. I embrace my unpopular anime opinions.
Maybe Season 3 will address my concerns! One can only hope.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch the parts with the Duke blushing. Pure gold. Pure gold!
